Swell. This is not the time of year to be having injuries like that.

With Lee and Thomas we good here.

Just hope this type of injury has a set heal date and not something that lingers more than a season.

Joe Thomas had an illness... believe he should be ready to roll on Sun. Having Lee taking first team snaps all week and having his IQ on the field is a win. Thomas is a strong sub as well. Losing LVE is certainly not good-- but LBer is our deepest unit.

Awesome timing. Joe Thomas hasn’t practiced all week with the flu

Sure, until Lee tweaks his hamstring playing in the cold.

Not too worried about lee in the cold. He’s from Pittsburgh and played ball at PSU.

He likely tweaks his hammy eating his pregame meal or lifting his water bottle

Chill Hill is saying neck ... while Fisher is saying its a back issue. ( is it a herniated disk ?)
we really need to sit him out for a couple of games and have Thomas cut into his snaps even when LVE returns, as he's been banged up and is just not himself in '19.

we really don't want Lee playing that many excess snaps, one reason why he has miraculously been relatively healthy for the season.
and Thomas has been battling a bad case of the flu, so he's not in the best of shape either.

March Lillard is horrible - has issues vs run and in coverage, he's really only a special teams contributor and a guy I was surprised he even made the 53 roster.

Luke Gifford ? Hes been game inactive for better part of the year, and he's raw and vastly inexperienced; he will only be game inactive because of the depth concerns at LB.
and you know Lee's penchant for injuries.

this sucks...was hoping he'd be a go.
Gen Lee and Ol'Jaylon will handle business.

LONG.

Didn't Luke Gifford play against the Giants this year? Maybe just ST? Maybe this is his chance, pick off Brady a couple of times :)
